Perhaps that is what is happening-- I don't know cause there isn't any visual feedback. It is as the bug describes-- start downloading, move away, come back (even to the same application), try to install and it appears stuck at 0%. If download manager is actually doing the right thing, I suggest adding a visual indication that it is working-- android has a little indicator type thing that shows a download is in progress, which can be nice. That wouldn't strictly be required though-- if a user starts a download and moves away, then:
 * if the user tries to install a different app, the install could say "Please wait, another download in progress" (or similar)
 * if the user comes back to the same download-- the progress meter could resume to where it is currently
